(A) CLEAN (B) DIRTY
BEFORE PLACING HANDS IN THE WATER, BEFORE PUTTING ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS, AND
WHENEVER THE FILTER EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED, MAINTAINED OR HANDLED.
No special maintenance is required to clean the external sides of the filter, other than periodic cleaning
with a damp cloth (never use harsh chemical products or detergents). Simple lemon juice may be useful for
removing calcareous encrustation. Rinse thoroughly afterward to eliminate acid residue. Following a routine
maintenance schedule will result in a healthier aquarium, and extend the life of the filter. Fluval C Power
Filters have been designed to facilitate these tasks, as they can be done within a matter of minutes.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING & FAQs
Q. What if the power filter motor doesn't start or makes a mechanical noise?
A. First check that all the filters' components have been correctly installed. Then check to make sure
the impeller blades are free moving on magnet assembly.
Q. Why won't the power filter motor re-start after performing filter insert maintenance?
A. Make sure the unit has been plugged back into the power outlet and that all parts are thoroughly
clean and replaced as directed. (See Power Filter Maintenance)
Q. What should I do if the priming process doesn't occur?
A. Verify that:
• All parts are installed correctly
• Filter case is completely filled with water
• Unit is plugged into power outlet
• "U" tube is correctly installed
• The minimum water level inside the tank no more than 6 cm (2.25 inches) below the aquarium rim
Q. Why is the water cloudy in my new aquarium?
A. Bacterial cloudiness may occur during the first week of a new aquarium set-up and may last up to
six weeks. If the condition persists, consult your local aquarium professional.
Q. What happens if I forget to clean my filter inserts?
A. If the Power Filter is left unattended for too long, the filter inserts become clogged with debris.
The efficiency of the filtration is very low, and the filter inserts require immediate rinsing or
replacement. (See Filter Inserts Maintenance)
Q. When should I operate a reduced flow?
A. Reduced flow is most helpful during feeding times, or when the input suction or output stream is
too strong for small or delicate fish. (See How it Works — Patented Refiltration System.)
Q. Why should I use only aquarium water to rinse my filter inserts after they are installed?
A. Most cities add chlorine or other chemicals to eliminate harmful bacteria in drinking water for
human consumption. These additives, while harmless to us, are very toxic to fish.
